The original concept:

 the pie.  

Let me explain the pie. 

Recently I had been plagued by one life catastrophe after another and finally I decided to let people know what was up. Well when I did I received a lot of support and that support has been unbelievably helpful to me. 

That's not the pie. 
Yet. 

When the new year was approaching I couldn't help but think about how shitty 2011 had been for me, and how much I owed others for helping me get through it. I want to say thank you to everyone whose been here by me, but I don't really have the means to give the thank you they deserve just yet. So I decided to train up for it, and work to give some good karma back to the world. That's where the pie comes into play. 

Imagine all the good things people have done for you, both little and big. Imagine all the times that you have told someone "I don't know what I would have done without you." Imagine all the helping hands, and supportive hugs you've ever received. Now take all those positive, heart warming, life changing instances and think of them as a lovely, fresh baked, homemade pie of your choice. Whatever your favorite flavor is. The smell alone makes you happy right? 

And that's where my project begins. To cut up a slice of pie for one random person per week with the hopes that, even if they're having the best day in the world, I can bring them a slice of joy.

Once a week, maybe twice if I feel so moved, I'll be writing something nice about one random person on my friends list. I'll be recording it here as well as on Facebook so that I have a chronological and easily accessed copy of what I write. 
Happy 2012 everyone. =)

The refurbishment:

So I have a TON of drafts that I was supposed to post up as each week went by but I was terribly distracted by the boyfriend coming to visit, and then next thing I know I’ve landed a new job and BAM life swept me up into a current I was more than glad to swim along with.

This project fell by the wayside though and I never forgave myself for that. I think I want to make it bigger though. I’m going to be including tumblr followers/friends in this project now because as a blogging community I feel that there are quite a few posters whom I would have wonderful things to say about. Also, I want to give back to a community that, whether in anonymity or lighthearted camaraderie has supported me.

Posts will go up on SUNDAY MORNINGS. I wasn’t setting deadlines for myself before and look what happened. So every Sunday morning this year, I am going to wake up and post a slice or two of pie. =) I’d like to do at least one video slice a month too so hopefully I can keep that goal going.

2013 is going to be a year of growth, I can feel it. 2012 set in place so many wonderful foundations for me to build upon and I fully intend to capitalize on that. Have a great year everyone!
